About this book Introduction This book explores discrete-time dynamic optimization and provides a detailed introduction to both deterministic and stochastic models.

Covering problems with finite and infinite horizon, as well as Markov renewal programs, Bayesian control models and partially observable processes, the book focuses on the precise modelling of applications in a variety of areas, including operations research, computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, economics and finance. Dynamic Optimization is a carefully presented textbook which starts with discrete-time deterministic dynamic optimization problems, providing readers with the tools for sequential decision-making, before proceeding to the more complicated stochastic models.

The authors present complete and simple proofs and illustrate the main results with numerous examples and exercises without solutions. With relevant material covered in four appendices, this book is completely self-contained. University of Ulm Ulm Germany 3. He wrote the seminal book Foundations of Non-stationary Dynamic Programming with Discrete Time Parameter and the textbook Grundbegriffe der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie His main research areas were stochastic dynamic programming, probability and stochastic processes.

Ulrich Rieder is Professor emeritus at the University of Ulm. His main research areas include stochastic dynamic programming and control, risk-sensitive Markov decision processes, stochastic games, and financial optimization.

The algorithms are coded in MATLAB which is a popular software package for engineers interested in dynamics and control.

Solutions for the examples and the many problems are provided on a disc that goes with the book. The problems are difficult but doing them is the only way to really learn the subject.

The book starts with a review of parameter optimization ordinary calculus and then treats dynamic optimization the calculus of variations , first with fixed final time and no constraints, then with terminal constraints, and then with terminal constraints and open final time. This is followed by chapters on linear-quadratic problems which are of practical interest in themselves but also develop the theory needed to consider the second variation and neighboring-optimal feedback control.

Next is a chapter on dynamic programming, an interesting but not very practical method of nonlinear feedback control, and then a chapter on neighboring-optimal feedback control which is practical. The next to last chapter deals with inequality constraints, first for static systems nonlinear programming and then for dynamic systems using inverse dynamic optimization.

The last chapter covers singular problems, i. There is an appendix giving a short history of dynamic optimization. Chapter 5 describes dynamic optimization for linear systems with time-varying feedback gains.

With fast computers having large memory storage, this is now an attractive alternative to constant-gain feedback control, since it cuts the time to reach a desired state almost in half. In Chapters 9 and 10 we describe an inverse dynamic optimization method due to Seywald that uses nonlinear programming software to solve dynamic optimization problems with inequality constraints or singular arcs. Before the advent of the digital computer about only rather simple dynamic optimization problems could be solved in terms of tabulated functions.

Now, with powerful digital computers, numerical solutions can be found for realistic problems. Some current aircraft contain flight management computers that find optimal flight paths in real time and send them to the autopilot for implementation. Digital control is now commonplace, where a digital computer is the logic element in a feedback control system involving sensors and actuators.

Spaceflight would not have been possible without digital control. Microprocessors have made it possible to use digital control in cars, home appliances, robots, and even toys. This book updates and extends the first half of Applied Optimal Control 1. An update and extension of the second half is under preparation with the tentative title "Optimal Control with Uncertainty"; it will deal with optimal linear feedback control in the presence of uncertain inputs and an uncertain dynamic model.

In the intervening 29 years the development and spread of personal computers has made it possible to do more interesting problems while learning the subject. Hence this book contains more examples and problems than its predecessor. The codes presented here were prepared for use on personal computers.

Several aerospace companies have developed codes for very large problems which require supercomputers. For example Boeing Ref. Collocation techniques are very effective but are not discussed in this text in an effort to limit the size of the book. The discrete algorithms presented in Chapters 2 to 4 are largely there for pedagogical reasons since they are simpler and lead into the continuous algorithms.

However they also lead into the discrete algorithms for the linear-quadratic problems of Chapters 5 and 6 which are used more than the continuous algorithms in current practice. I should like to thank Carolyn Edwards for her patient work in putting the text on the computer.

From the Back Cover Dynamic Optimization takes an applied approach to its subject, offering many examples and solved problems that draw from aerospace, robotics, and mechanics. The abundance of thoroughly tested general algorithms and Matlab codes provide the reader with the practice necessary to master this inherently difficult subject, while the realistic engineering problems and examples keep the material interesting and relevant.

Covers dynamic programming, relating it to the calculus of variations and optimal control, and neighboring optimum control differential dynamic programming , a practical method for nonlinear feedback control. These codes have been thoroughly tested on hundreds of problems. Contains many realistic examples and problems. Solutions to the examples and problems, as well as the codes that produce the figures, are included on the accompanying disk.
